Please plan to join us at Peach State Airpark (GA2) on August 10th at the Candler FIeld Museum for a half-day refresher clinic.
We'll start at 9:30 am with about an hour of lecture during which Toby Blanton will review the essentials of back-country operations including:
Short/soft field takeoff and landing
Density altitude and how it affects performance
Non-paved runways and how they affect takeoff and landing distance
Use of your POH performance charts to determine the takeoff distance, climb performance, and landing distance to be expected during the flight practice portion of the clinic.
In preparation for the flight practice there will be a safety briefing to review the requirements for flight operations at GA2. We'll also assign time slots to ensure a smooth, safe, and fun flight practice session.
Next we'll transition to the field for the flight practice. Runway distance markers will be placed every 200 feet so that pilots can compare their actual performance to the numbers.
Barnstormer's Grill is open from 9 am on Saturday if anyone wants to enjoy a meal before or after the clinic.
Hope to see you there!
